TERRAPURE / SERVICES
Test pathways to soil remediation.
Agricultural soil recovery requires a technique suited to the identified problem. Terrapure connects diagnosis, treatability testing and field pilot application before designing a larger treatment program.
Compare alternatives at the bench.
Actual farm soil allows treatments to be compared against controls. Studies assess adsorption, immobilization, bioremediation or physicochemical approaches according to priority substances and soil conditions.
AgroCarbon is a micrometric activated carbon aqueous suspension assessed for pesticide residue adsorption where the diagnosis supports its use. Adsorption is not the same as degradation. Selection also considers nutrient availability, soil biota and compatibility with agricultural management.
Validate before scaling.
The bench protocol guides a pilot in the target field, with a baseline, comparison area and defined indicators. Assessment tracks distribution, operations, costs and soil and crop responses to decide whether to proceed, adjust or reassess the approach.
Deliverables may progress to an implementation plan for each field, covering application parameters, equipment, irrigation integration, scheduling and monitoring. Organic matter, ground cover, water management and control of recontamination sources are considered alongside the selected treatment. The scale-up decision follows the evidence generated by the project.
Common questions.
Is AgroCarbon suitable for every soil?
No. Suitability depends on the target compounds, soil conditions and findings from bench trials and the field pilot.
Do laboratory trials prove field outcomes?
No. Responses must be assessed under actual farm conditions before supporting scale-up or conclusions about yield. Pilot monitoring also helps identify operational adjustments that laboratory trials cannot establish.
